When Work Integrated Learning Costs Too Much: The Hidden Toll of Clinical Placements

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Medical imaging students face major financial stress during unpaid clinical placements, with costs for travel, accommodation, and lost income impacting mental health and study success. This stress can affect their mental health, studies, and even lead some to consider leaving their course. Urgent action is needed to provide support and ensure workforce

Evaluating the Diagnostic Utility of Spinal Ultrasound in Neonates With a Simple Sacral Dimple: An Eight‐Year Retrospective Study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study retrospectively analysed eight years of neonatal spinal ultrasound data from a major Australian children's hospital to assess the value of imaging for simple sacral dimples. Out of 448 scans, 195 were for an isolated simple dimple, and only two infants (1%) were found to have spinal dysraphism, both with other congenital anomalies.

Improving Patient‐Centred Care and Clinical Pathways: The Role of the Patient Care Radiation Therapist (PCRT)

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
A 2021 study evaluated a new Patient Care Radiation Therapist (PCRT) model, where radiation therapists take on expanded patient care coordination roles. Survey results from multidisciplinary staff showed that 94% perceived PCRTs positively support clinical roles and improve patient care pathways, with effective communication, interpersonal skills ...

From Evidence to Practice: Implementation and Evaluation of the Discontinuation of Patient Contact Shielding in Paediatric Radiography

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This implementation science study evaluated the removal of patient contact shielding in paediatric radiography at a quaternary Australian hospital. Guided by the COM‐B model and Theoretical Domains Framework, the policy change was implemented with minimal disruption. Fewer than 0.5% of families raised any concerns, demonstrating that even long‐standing

Determination of anthropogenic changes on the urbanized territories using GIS technology [PDF]

, 2017
The research aim is to obtain a cartographic model of an urbanized territory by means of thermal survey in an infrared range. With this cartographic model, it will be then possible to reduce the zones in the urbanized territories differing in the level ...

Radiation therapists' perceptions of participating in Professional Supervision – a pilot study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 54-62, March 2025.
The study explores the efficacy of Professional Supervision (PS) as an intervention for mitigating burnout among radiation therapists (RTs). Twelve participants engaged in monthly face‐to‐face sessions. Conducted at the Christchurch Radiation Oncology Centre, the pilot study utilised a QUALTRICS questionnaire assessing the Supervisor Working Alliance ...

Open or closed: Experience of head and neck radiotherapy masks – A mixed‐methods study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 74-84, March 2025.
Patients with head and neck cancer received radiotherapy alternately with an open and a closed mask. The closed mask was perceived as more confining and restrictive, but it was also considered to make it easier to quickly achieve the correct position, while the open mask was perceived as less stable, although it reduced the feeling of claustrophobia ...

Impact of pre‐examination video education in Gd‐EOB‐DTPA‐enhanced liver MRI: A comparative study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 34-41, March 2025.
This study evaluates the effects of pre‐examination video education on patient anxiety, satisfaction and image quality in Gd‐EOB‐DTPA‐enhanced liver MRI. We found that video education significantly reduced anxiety, increased patient satisfaction and improved image quality compared to standard pre‐MRI guidance, highlighting the potential of video ...
